Top of the backswing analysis
We have said that the backswing is performed solely to place the club in a correct position at the top. Now let us define what is ‘a correct position at the top’, and why it is important.

Swing errors
All errors in the golf swing can be traced back to some cause. Nothing happens without a good reason!
Overswing not only causes loss of control (and hence direction) in the downswing, but the excessive wrist action with it means that a consistent length of shot with the same club is impossible.

Caddy Tips the Takeaway
Attempting to "hold the club low to the ground" in the takeaway is supposed to give a player a ‘wide arc’. In fact, it does the reverse. In trying to hold the club ‘low to the ground’ the left arm reaches back and down, and the left shoulder dips down with it. This brings about the collapse of the left side and a downward drop of the head. Again, any possibility of a left hand and arm swing is destroyed. Now, with the arm swing blocked by the body, a player must look to his wrists to keep the club-head moving. This early wrist break completely destroys any chance of a ‘wide arc’. This type of takeaway is extremely common. Try to understand it, and compare it with the correct takeaway. In the correct takeaway, the left shoulder, hand and arm swings the club back from the ball. The shoulders then begin to turn so that the swing can continue freely to the top. In this type of movement the left shoulder does not dip down towards the ground. Why should it? The left hand and arm is swinging freely from the shoulder and therefore the left shoulder maintains its height from the ground more or less constant.
